simple teraforming question

[Snowflake]

Thanks Adalbertus! In fact I've already found your chart and it helped a lot! And that's what makes me wonder if somebody else has done similar things for mineral and energy.

Could you tell me what is incorrect about Soil Enricher and Condensors in the manual?

Remember the number of turns required for road-building is variable, depending on underlying terrain and previous improvement. So, whatever else you intend to do in a square, if you want a road in it, do that first. Otherwise, your Former will require one extra turn to cut the road through the other improvement(s).

thanks for the tip - id didnt realize that.

Could be you if you've got the energy . It is easiest to do in the scenario editor.

IIRC, the manual states +1 nutrient for Soil Enricher and nothing or +1 for Condensor (in addition to the humidity effect on the surroundings). In fact, you gain 50% (rounded down) from both. Restriction lifting by condensor also isn't mentioned, which is a huge benefit for the owner of WP.

Road last = extra turn.

Is the effect of different improvement and/or river cumulative? In other words, if you have a rocky river square, it will take you one extra turn for road even without anything built. The question is if it will take you two extra turns if you build a mine first?

Got to learn the scenario editor first.

What does IIRC mean? (Sorry, you can see that I'm new)
So that means after you build a farm, you get 50% more nut for a S or a C (and S is cheaper right?). eg. If rainy/nut (5) you get +2 nut for a S not +1 as said in manual. And then if you add another you get another 50% more nut. In the example it will be 5+2+3=10 not 5+1+1=7. Unbelievable! I will have to definitely test it myself.

Woohoo! I'm a chieftain! How long do you have to wait before you become a king?

If I Recall Correctly-- people use it when stating something from memory

Years, if AC-General/Help/Strategy is the only on-topic forum you post to. I think its 1000 on-topic posts, those in the off-topic forum don't count. You can find more information in the site's FAQ. There is a link at the very top of the page in a line containing links like

control panel | search | faq | new posts | my threads | upload | members | get password

Hope that helps

[Flubber]

yup

IIRC its 1000 posts to make King but you have the prince level ( 300 posts) to hit first

[Snowflake]

Believe it or not I've read the faq very carefully but nowhere can be found the info about post count and status. I also see some emporers running around guess they are really reall old humm? Are there others?

[Adalbertus]

It is there. Under the Rules section.

XVIII) What's these titles under each poster's login? And why some posters have special status?
(added with v.1.05, 26/June/99, totally changed with v.2.0, 21/December/99)
Each poster has a status shown under his username. That is depended by his post count, like this:
-Settler 1-30
-Chieftain 31-100
-Warlord 101-300
-Prince 301-1000
-King 1001-3000
-Emperor 3001-10000
-Deity 10001+
Note: this system is not intended to rank people in any way. It is only meant to give a "civish" modd on the forums. A few, specific, special posters have their own status so that they are easily recognized. For example Brian Reynolds has a "Big Huge Games President" status.

and hong hu - adelbertus is now two posts closer to king level thanks to your inquiry about that - and im now one post closer -

ahhh - run away!!!!!!!!

[Snowflake]

I love this place.

[Flubber]

Many of the emporers and dieties on here attained that status when posts in the off-topic forum counted. They would often have dozens of posts a day that were merely a smiley or a single line.

Heck-- I am more than halfway to emporer and I had another 900 posts or so when I went by my "cbn" name-- for me it was posting turn notifications in Pbem games that really jacked up the post count


back to terraforming-- I really think that people should try out the benefits of maximizing a single resource on a tile and then using a crawler. the benefits from the specialists created can be remarkable
